London
Heh. I did the exact same thing at LHR flying through to Barcelona last year. Luckily I had two hours in between flights or I would have been borked. It sucked taking the train & going through security but I made it. Felt like a moron afterwards.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
You can buy an HDHomerun if you want to stream OTA to multiple devices in your home: https://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/ It also works seamlessly with Plex. I set it up right before the OSU game this year when Fox had their dispute with YTTV.

Election Day 2025
Most aren't using the Mamdani win as an indication, most are looking at the other races and in those, Democrats outperformed compared to past races.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
If you have YouTube TV linked in your ESPN app, even though in the past you could watch ABC games, you will not be able to today, even though you have ESPN+. ESPN+ games will work but not ABC/regular ESPN games. Now - if you could use another family or friends DirectTV/Comcast/Spectrum/cable login, you could watch the game through your ESPN app.

ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
1. If you are used to watching ESPN /ABC games on the ESPN app & you are NOT paying the $30 for ESPN Unlimited, you are able to do so because of your YouTube TV/DirecTV/Comcast subscription. As of now, that ability no longer works if you have YouTube TV. You basically will have no way through YouTube TV to watch any ABC or non ESPN+ games. 2. If you want to watch tomorrow’s Texas game, go buy a $20 TV antenna & hook it up to your TV. The game is being broadcasted on ABC and should be available Over-The-Air. It will actually be better video quality than most any streamer & you will have an antenna the next time this inevitably happens again. Note - depending on your TV setup, you may not have to ability to record/fast-forward/rewind/pause.

Who will be next Texas HC?
Cignetti’s buyout from Indiana is $15m. If Sark left on his own, he’d owe Texas $4m if he did it before the end of this season, $3m otherwise. That means Texas would be on the hook to come up with $11m-$12m to buy out Cignetti. I don’t see that amount being an issue if Sark left & CDC wanted Cignetti.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
You should have received paperwork from the mortgage company telling you your property is paid off, then they should have sent paperwork to the county removing the lien from it, and then the county should have sent you paperwork letting you know the lien had been removed. The most important one of these is the latter, so you can contact the county to see if the lien has been removed. If not, you will need the mortgage company to notify the county. This is what happened with me but it might be different elsewhere.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
This is why I picked up a cashiers check from my bank & dropped it off at the title company before closing. 30 mins of work was worth not worrying about it or following the convoluted app used for wiring money.

Allegiant Air
We flew out on them last week from Austin to Knoxville. The flight was fine and the plane was on a newish Airbus. The South terminal is super simple & easy so that makes things easier on the Austin end. They are no frills & we only use them for directs we can’t get otherwise out of Austin. If you want to check multiple bags & pick your seat, their cost approaches that of other airlines. As mentioned: 1. You have to pay for both checked baggage & carry on (your small personal bag is free) 2. You have to pay to select your seats or your group could get dispersed all over the plane. 3. Bring your boarding pass (digitally or in paper) or they will charge you ($5?) to print it at the airport. 4. At Austin, the Allegiant staff is nice but they handle both checking bags & customer service. Don’t expect them to be speedy if you’ve a request. 5. You aren’t, but I’d never fly them if there was a connection. They typically don’t have service every day so any delays/cancelations could result in a multi-day delay to your destination.
